Hi Sebb, Yes, changing the svn:mime-type to text/pain makes Safari think that it's ok to display.
So I will change the mime-type for all such .eml files once I've gotten my round tuit. Still have the problem with the .rtf that Safari insists on downloading. The only thing I can think of is to edit the file, change to plain text, and save as text/plain mime-type.
